## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## TikTok Scraper & Downloader Pro

Fast TikTok scraper for **profiles, hashtags, posts, comments and no-watermark videos** — with industry-standard output format.

### What can it do?

- **👤 Profiles** — full user info (followers, hearts, bio, avatar) + their videos with stats
- **#️⃣ Hashtags** — scrape videos for any hashtag feed
- **🎬 Post URLs** — full details of specific videos: likes, comments, shares, collects, music + **no-watermark MP4 URL**
- **💬 Comments** — extract comments for every scraped video
- **🔍 Search** (experimental) — keyword video search. See [Search notes](#-search-experimental) below
- **⬇️ Downloads** — save videos (no-watermark), covers, avatars, slideshow images and music covers to the Key-Value store
- **🎛️ Filters** — sort profile videos (latest/oldest/popular), date ranges, min/max likes, exclude pinned posts
- **📤 Industry-standard output format** — output fields (`authorMeta`, `musicMeta`, `videoMeta`, `diggCount`, `playCount`, ...) follow the de-facto standard TikTok dataset format, so most existing integrations and scripts keep working without changes

| `profileSorting` | `latest` / `oldest` / `popular` |
| `excludePinnedPosts` | Skip pinned posts |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "profiles": ["khaby.lame"],
  "hashtags": ["fyp"],
  "postURLs": ["https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123456"],
  "resultsPerPage": 30,
  "commentsPerPost": 10,
  "shouldDownloadVideos": false
}
```

### Output

Dataset contains **video items** (standard format), one **user item** per profile and **comment items**:

```json
{
  "type": "video",
  "id": "7681719358225239326",
  "text": "Well… that didn't go as planned #comedy",
  "createTimeISO": "2026-09-04T12:00:00.000Z",
  "authorMeta": {
    "id": "127905465618821121",
    "name": "khaby.lame",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame",
    "nickName": "Khabane lame",
    "verified": true,
    "avatar": "https://..."
  },
  "musicMeta": { "musicName": "original sound", "musicId": "123" },
  "webVideoUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame/video/7681719358225239326",
  "videoMeta": { "duration": 48, "coverUrl": "https://...", "format": "mp4" },
  "diggCount": 307006,
  "shareCount": 5208,
  "playCount": 2210497,
  "collectCount": 1234,
  "commentCount": 6972,
  "noWatermarkUrl": "https://...",
  "hashtags": [{ "id": "", "name": "comedy" }],
  "isPinned": false,
  "isSlideshow": false
}
```

Failed inputs push an **error item** (`input`, `error`, `errorCode`) instead of crashing the run, so partial results are always kept.

### 🔍 Search (experimental)

Search scraping TikTok's web app is the hardest surface — TikTok aggressively blocks it. This actor ships a multi-engine pipeline (three browser engines + fallback). **For reliable results, provide a real `msToken`:**

1. Open tiktok.com in your browser
2. DevTools → Application → Cookies → copy the `msToken` value
3. Paste it into the actor input

Without `msToken`, search often returns a `SEARCH_QUERY_NOT_FOUND` error item. Other modes (profiles, hashtags, posts, comments) work without it.

### Proxy

For best success rates (especially comments and large runs), use Apify **Residential** proxy:

```json
"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
```

### Ethics & privacy

This scraper only extracts **publicly available** data and does not collect private user data (emails, gender, location). Scraped content may contain personal data — use it in accordance with GDPR and TikTok's terms of service.

### Limitations

- Followers/following lists, stories, reposts, subtitles and AI descriptions are not supported yet
- Profile results are capped by TikTok's public pagination
- `musicURLs` may return a `MUSIC_NOT_FOUND` error item when the source feed is blocked

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call centered_quaff/tiktok-scraper-pro --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,centered_quaff/tiktok-scraper-pro"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
